For perishable gifts — cheese, charcuterie, steaks, and other fresh items — ordering at least five to seven days before the desired delivery date gives igourmet sufficient time to cut, pack, and ship in the most effective temperature-controlled window. For delivery in the days immediately before Father's Day, ordering early in the week ensures the gift arrives over the weekend. igourmet ships to all 50 states via expedited service and delivery windows are displayed at checkout based on the shipping destination. Full timing details are on igourmet's shipping information page.
